Prague

The trip to Prague was pretty uneventful. My friend Leo and I took a train to get to Nuremberg, and then from there a bus into Prague. The bus pretty cool. It was a two story one and it wasn't super cramped either. We got to our hostel called Sir Toby's (I highly recommend it) checked in, and then went into the Old Town and took this free walking tour of the main part of the city. We saw the astronomical clock and the church that was right there on the square, the Jewish graveyard, and some other things but we mostly just walked by them and weren't able to actually go inside or see them. We decided to have dinner back at the hostel because there was a full kitchen there that we could use. It was nice not to have to spend a bunch of money on going out, we just went to the grocery store about a block away :) At the hostel we met this Australian girl names Jess who came along with us on a lot of the things we did. The next day we were able to walk up tot he castle and see the cathedral which was amazing! We also walked across the Charles Bridge and then had this dumpling dish which apparently is a must when in the Czech Republic but I just thought it was ok. We also saw the monastery there and had to pay to go inside the library. The day that we left we had a little time, so we hiked up to the huge metronome that is up on a hill and got a nice view of the whole city.
